Judges 18:7

Verse 7 of 31. The 18th of 21 chapters in Judges, in History.

3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; so they went over there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”

4He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”

5They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”

6The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before the LORD.”

7Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in safety, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with anyone else.

8They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brothers asked them, “What do you say?”

9They said, “Arise, and let’s go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don’t be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.

10When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”

11The family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol with six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
